Well update day and time to do the math, from last weight in ( my 3.2 gain) I gained a further 2.6 at the weekend, how I don't know but I did, so my loss this week for my stats is 7.2lbs less the 2.6 I put on, so net loss is 4.6lbs, I am quite happy with that as I have under 4lbs to lose until I get to my target, I had taken the 11 to lose to include the 2.6 I had put on rather than from last Thursdays weigh in so I am 7.2/11
Its actually been a good week, perhaps because its such a short time scale I haven't really been bothered about DD's or my 2 shakes and a meal UD's. I am also glad I did it this way as if I had gone all shakes it would surely just have ploughed back on the minute I ate anything, so plan to do a DD today as there is no drinks tonight and then 2 shakes and a meal then full shakes again Sunday until I go away Wednesday morning, it means my final weigh in will be one day earlier this week, but if I get back on the shakes when we return next Sunday I have a chance of pulling a sts for the next week which is very exciting, feeling quite motivated now for the first time in ages.
Totally noting that due to massively decreased carbs this week I have not really been hungry. I am in a ketosis as even though I've been having the odd thing here and there to prevent it my carb tolerance might be higher than I initially thought as I have the horrible taste in my mouth, can't sleep at night and a mild headache, Mr Lanark having now gained almost 14 lbs since coming to Egypt wants to get back to moderate carb after out holidays, I have told him all he has to do is switch from beer to vodka again and that will do the trick, the calories in beer are frightening, so really I've been wasting my time with his diet if he drinks any amount of beer at the weekend it just wipes it out.
I am excited about my trip I've been in touch with friends and brunch is booked for next Friday, I am also excited about being able to bring back 46kg's of shopping back each!! I do love Egypt air!
Long list of things to bring back, including low carb pasta and other bits, mainly other Estee Lauder bits right enough
Hair, my hair has been an ongoing saga for the last 7 months since my mum told me it was too dark, we then had the total disaster at the Dubai hairdresser which cost me a fortune and left me like a rainbow troll, many many box dyes to fix it and finally a visit to the Scottish hairdresser at home who gave me nice highlights like what I wanted, but they had gone very very brassy since I got them done and I wasn't loving the ginger look, it just doesn't work for me and my skin tone, I am now a hair dye expert and am fully conversant with the numbering system on the boxes and after much research I decided to dye it back to brown, it's now dark again with a mahogany sort of sheen, still red but my own hair is very like that anyway, ash tones just won't take to my hair at all unless I bleach the beejeezuz out of it and I am not up for that, so dark brown with a reddish sheen it is, when I am in AD I intend to spend some time in the hair dye aisle and bring back a few as there isn't much colour range here in Egypt, what a saga.
Off to study, less than 6 weeks until the exams and as usual I am behind aaaargh.
